CIS

The Carleton Ravens were crowned Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) champions in men’s basketball Sunday after a 68-48 victory over the Concordia Stingers. It was the third straight men’s basketball title for the Ravens.

Carleton has now gone 78 regular season and playoff games without a loss and is the first team since Brandon in the late 80s to win three straight championships.

Three-point shooting was key in Carleton’s success. They scored 45 points on 15 baskets from beyond the arc, which is only three points less than the entire offence output of the Stingers.

Mike Smart of the Ravens was named most valuable player of the final four tournament. He contributed ten points to the victory.

Osvaldo Jentry led all scorers with 24 points in the contest, as he sunk seven three-pointers in the match. He also finished with ten assists.

Nude Greek Games

Here is a story straight from the Wacky World of Sports:

The tenth annual Nude College Greek Athletic Meet-in which competitors, spectators, and media are forbidden from wearing clothing-was held in Tallahasee, Florida over the weekend, proving that sex is still used to sell events. The events were based on traditional Greek sports that were part of the original games almost two milennia ago.

Steve White of Florida A & M was named top male athlete at the event and was crowned with a victory wreath. A woman named Emily from Ashworth College in Georgia, who did not disclose her last name, was the top female athlete at the competition.

Meanwhile, Shawn of Florida State University, who also did not disclose his last name, was the champion in the non-athlete division.

All competitors took part in a re-creation of the ancient Greek pentathlon, which includes long jump, discus, 200-yard dash, and javelin.

Welcome to Spring Break in the good ol’ US of A.
